07.05.2026 TRUMP AND THE IRANIAN PROBLEM I was a Staff Reporter at the daily Morning News, Karachi, Pakistan, for about 12 years in the 1980’s.I had worked as a Stringer Sports Reporter, part time, for the newspaper and then was apprenticed to the Sports Editor,HMS Baig, before I joined them.I was not content there and switched to the City Desk. The City Editor Iqbal Mirza appreciated my work and I was happy with my ‘beats’. The work was meaningful Some of the things I remember were my in- depth reports on the pharmaceutical companies dumping banned drugs in the country. This led to the government banning Clioquinol. The multinational company stopped its sale. Then there were a series of reports with Latafat Ali Siddiqui on the sale of marijuana and other narcotics in the city. Other newspapers picked it up. The drugs were not available in the city for some time. I remember being at St. Patrick’s High School one evening talking to the priests I knew there, when there was a loud blast …More

Fiducia Supplicans will not be revoked: Cardinal Fernandez addresses the German bishops’ document on liturgical blessings for homosexual couples by saying they cannot do that in a liturgical rite, but only informally. Mind-boggling.
"(33) So the enemy made up his mind against her and aroused some people of high status in the world who secretly asked her to please agree to go and stay in their house in the company of one of their lonely little daughters, and said that if it was necessary to obtain permission from the pope or from anyone else, she should not doubt that all which was necessary to the health of the soul and the body would be provided her better than she could know how to ask for it.. She did not consent to all these promises, but stayed firmly and constantly in the aforementioned place with full faith that she was still established in the cloister under the Rule of St. Clare. And so it was."
[Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (28) After some more time had passed in such poverty, the enemy of all those who have set foot on earth appeared again. This time he came in the appearance of the Virgin Mary with her little Son in her arms. He addressed her and spoke thus, scolding her: “You have not wished to abandon your wicked self-love, and I will not give you the virtuous love that is my little Son’s.” And having said this, he disappeared like a person who was upset. And she, thinking that it was the Mother of Christ, pondered very bitterly, believing that she was estranged from her and her Son. (29) Now let the listener think into what mortal weakness and sadness of heart this led her, so much that she could scarcely hold herself upright, so much that many times she would have despaired if she had not known well that the worst sin that can be is that of despair, and also because the divine …More

Cardinal Tucho Fernández repeated to VaticanNews.va on May 6 that the German “blessing guide” for homosexuals and other couples in mortal sin does not have Vatican approval. The pro-homosexual cardinal is a soft-porn author and Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. He stated that a letter he sent in November 2024 regarding an earlier draft of the German bishops’ blessing guidelines remains fully applicable to the final version approved in April 2025. The German bishops’ document in question is titled Blessing Gives Strength to Love. They falsely claimed Vatican support for their guidelines. The Vatican’s release of the November 2024 letter was “in agreement with Pope Leo XIV.” “That letter is the only and final response,” Tucho told Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier, chairman of the German bishops’ liturgy commission, during a meeting in the Vatican on November 12, 2025. Tucho explained that although the final German text differs somewhat from the original draft …More
By refuting the formal ritual of the pseudo-blessing of sodomitic concubines—devised by the schismatic German apostates—Tucho reaffirms his own sacrilegious and "informal" pseudo-blessing for sodomitic concubines; while it might appear that he is taking a step backward, in reality he is moving forward by reaffirming his own pseudo-blessing. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples
'Regardless of the report, the Catholic Churchteachesthat homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” TheCatechism of the Catholic Churchstates: “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”
Tue May 5, 2026 - 12:08 pm EDTTue May 5, 2026 - 5:40 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A report from the Vatican’s General Secretariat of the Synod published Tuesday suggests a reframing of homosexuality, endorsing testimony without qualification that “sin, at its root, does not consist in the (same-sex) couple relationship” but in “a lack of faith in a God who desires our fulfilment.” The Vatican-commissioned Study Group 9 of the Synod on Synodality published its Final Report May 5, “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues.” Under the heading, “Taking a synodal approach to discernment: A proposal for implementation in local Churches,” the 32-page document relies on the testimonies of the “lived experience” of two individuals with same-sex attraction to “aid the promotion of pastoral discernment.” Framing the two testimonies as “experiences of goodness” which constitute “successive stages of development in …

Today a few young mates swore their loyalty to the Pope Always such a moving ceremony… even if sadly this time we couldn’t experience it outdoors May the Lord Jesus guide and protect these young men who came to the Vatican carrying so many hopes, dreams and aspirations from the Facebook page of Silere Non Possum
The Alberta Independence petitions are now in the hands of Elections Alberta. A lot of people are asking what happens next. Because of the temporary court stay, the signatures currently sit sealed while the court decides whether the counting process can proceed. And that court process matters. For many Albertans, this is exactly the problem. A Liberal-appointed judge now has the power to delay or block a democratic process supported by over 300,000 Albertans. This is exactly why the independence movement exists: Albertans are tired of having their future decided by people and institutions that do not share their values. If cleared, Elections Alberta can verify the signatures and the question can move toward the October 19 referendum: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall cease to be part of Canada and become an independent state?” But if the court blocks the process, the democratic demand does not disappear. The pressure shifts directly back to Premier Danielle Smith. The …More
